May we put this location into the guide? so we can easily put them into our PATH

cp them to /usr/bin or ln -s path/to/kubectl /usr/bin/kubectl or just add /path/to/kubectl to $PATH

You can find it in the release tar bundle, under platforms//; or if you build from source, kubectl should be either under _output/local/bin// or _output/dockerized/bin//.

The document is a bit out of date

http://kubernetes.io/v1.0/docs/user-guide/prereqs.html

The path would be _output/dockerized/bin/linux/amd64/bin

and ll _output/local/bin/linux/amd64/

The _output/local/bin/linux/amd64 directory not have kubectl

huzhifeng@s76054 ~/vbox/k8/kubernetes (master*) $ ll ll _output/local/bin/linux/amd64/    
ls: cannot access ll: No such file or directory
_output/local/bin/linux/amd64/:

You can use ./hack/local-up-cluster to build a local kubernetes cluster, and use ./cluster/kubectl.sh as the CLI.
